One year of Occupy in Seattle

September 16, 2012 9:53 PM

Monday, September 17th is the one year anniversary of the start of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Here is a look back at Occupy's Seattle offshoot:

Activist Dorli Rainey, 84, is helped by fellow Occupy Seattle protestors after being hit with pepper spray during a protest on Tuesday, November 15, 2011. After asking protestors to move to the sidewalk, police doused protestors with what Rainey later described as "a fountain of pepper spray." Other protesters splashed a milky-solution in Rainey's face to reduce the sting of the chemical irritant. The incident sparked international outrage, a review of the department's response to the protest, and an apology from Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn. It also became one of the notable incidents of the Occupy movement. less

Many at the camp said at the time that come spring, a camp would likely return. less
